Intimacy with God the Father -- What does God want communicationally? -- Ten myths concerning communication -- Person and message -- Message and technique -- The key participant : the receptor -- How does meaning happen? -- What keeps people from misinterpreting more often? -- The vehicles we employ -- The part played by context -- How does and effective communicator operate? -- Communicating for life change.

Author Charles H. Kraft draws upon faith and the social sciences to make preachers, pastors, religious educators, and missionaries aware of how they can effectively witness for God. Kraft examines how to communicate with those of different cultures so that the message of the gospel is effectively portrayed and received; recognize the gaps of tradition, language and life experience that separate cultures; and build bridges over those obstacles.
